Comment Better Hashes will be created. (Score 1) 748

We all know that pirates and others will find a way around it. A different hash will be created that will prevent generated files from being created. I don't know if anyone has suggested this but why doesn't someone create a hash that also contains sample data from varios locations in within the file (ie a hash of the file followed by 100 bytes taken from begining, middle and end)(coupled with a filesize tag). The ability to create collisions within a hashing scheme like that would be even harder to do, and with a scheme somewhat similiar could make it possible to eliminate collisions all together. I don't know... just the first thought that popped into my head when i read the article
